Kojima Productions announces Death Stranding year-round photo mode campaign 

Kojima Productions announced the start of The 2025 Death Stranding Annual Photo Mode Campaign on January 22. As the name implies, this is a year-long photo contest where users submit images they took in Death Stranding’s photo mode based on specific themes. 

Every month, Kojima Production will announce a new theme, and 20 player-submitted photos will be chosen as candidates for the “Photo of the Month.” The winner for each month will be selected by the staff at Kojima Productions. 

At the end of the year, the 12 “Photos of the Month” will be featured in the 2026 Kojima Productions calendar. This calendar (signed by Hideo Kojima himself) will be awarded to the 12 winners. In addition, Kojima will personally select a “Photo of The Year” from the twelve candidates. The winner will receive the signed 2026 calendar as well as original goods (the details of which will be announced at a later date). 

The 2025 Death Stranding Annual Photo Mode Campaign will run from January 22 to mid-December 2025. The theme for January is “Vehicles,” and submissions will be accepted between January 22 and February 10. You can enter via X, Instagram or Steam.
